An efficient approach to imides has been developed. With tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, CuBr (20 mol‐%) as the catalyst, and PhI(OAc) 2 (50 mol‐%) as the additive, aldehydes or alcohols reacted with amine hydrochloride salts to provide imides in moderate to good yields. A possible reaction pathway for the formation of the products is also discussed in this paper.
